Let's "run some hypothetical numbers" to see what you'd likely face:

Current value of a 2018 Cougar 34' trailer: 26800
Current value of a 2015 Cougar 34' trailer: 19400

Loss in value (3 years of depreciation): 7400

Monthly payments of $300 per month for 36 months: 10800
Insurance at $40 per month for 36 months: 1440
Storage at $100 per month for 36 months: 3600

Cost of ownership (in storage) for 36 months: 10800+1440+3600= 15840
Depreciation for 36 months: 7400

Total cost for 36 months while in storage: 15840+7400= 23240

Even if you lose $10,000 by selling the trailer, you'd still come out $13,200 ahead by selling it, not having the worry or depreciation while you're gone and you'd have a substantial down payment to buy a new or newer model when you return to the US.
